When it comes to essential running gear, items that provide sun protection are at the top of the list. Our post emphasizes that though it can be inconvenient to wear sunscreen with all the sweating you do, it’s still crucial for preventing skin cancer.
The same goes for sunglasses. You may worry that they’ll just slip or fly off as you run, but they’re just as important for preventing sun-related eye diseases ranging from cataracts to cancer.
